Chateau Le Gay Pomerol Rouge 2018

Chateau Le Gay dates all the way back to 1845 and the property takes its name from its location as the lieu-dit, Le Gay. The property was once owned by the Robin family who also owned the legendary Chateau Lafleur. When Marie Robin passed away, the chateau was purchased by Catherine Pere-Verge for a wopping 25 million. Catherine Péré-Vergé (1939-2013), was one of the great Bordeaux wines revolutionaries from the nineties on. In Pomerol, this iron-willed manager found her home and raised Montviel, Le Gay or La Violette to the highest standards, always with the continued support of her friend Michel Rolland. As Wine Advocate puts is, it displays, "sensational purity, richness and texture." The estate is now run by her son Henri, after Catherine passed away from cancer.
